His victims still drank the Kool Aid though.

When they were retiring Maxims they fired 9 million rounds through one continuously. It was fine. So no, a belt wouldn't ruin one. The greatest taker of life ever made!

Hoboken is also where baseball was invented and we know they're all bums.

Yeah they were fishing for comments with that one. Engagement has value. So you say something obviously wrong in a video and wait for the corrections.

Drink the Kool Aid came from the Jonestown massacre. They mixed the poison into Kool Aid.

@crazieanimefan1 drinking the Kool-Aid means following a destructive ideology that masquerades as being righteous. Being a willing cult member.

@moaningpheromones I think they fired the gun about 3 days straight to pass 9 million rounds through it. They really wanted to do something epic I suppose? I think I heard about it via Ian from Forgotten Weapons. Those old Maxim guns were built to fire all day every day. As long as you kept water in the jacket it'd keep running. I don't think even that trial wore it out. They just got tired of it eventually. Or maybe they ran out of ammo? By then they'd proven any point that needed to be proved.

@KenFullman they are watercooled. Still just sending rounds down a barrel wears them out. Cycling a firearm a lot causes wear too. Based on that one test Maxim's last virtually forever though. When they started that test they expected the firearm to fail eventually. Or they'd have never bothered. The gun outlasted them.
